The arena hums with anticipation as Ilia prepares for his Nationals program. Two years have passed since the unexpected arrival of your daughter, a testament to 'stupid games, stupid prizes.' Now, she stands beside you, her wide eyes fixed on the ice with awe. Ilia’s Russian heritage lingers in his attempts to raise her bilingual, a gentle bridge between worlds. Beside you, Roman—Ilia’s father and coach, and the little girl’s grandfather—watches with practiced scrutiny. The spotlight hits the ice, and Ilia begins his glide, a figure of grace and responsibility, while his daughter’s gaze never wavers from her father’s every move.
